Boats do not use leaded fuel that gets spread into the countryside. Cessnas usually do, unless converted to run on pump gas or to a turbine engine.

- vel0city 3y agoI do agree it's stupid leaded gas is still in use, it should have been phased out a long time ago. I'm just pointing out, a Cessna's GHG emissions aren't that far off (or might even be less) than a typical small recreational boat.
- sidewndr46 3y agoso you're just unashamedly carbonwashing general aviation. "It's got less GHG so it's GOOD". How about I show up at your house and sprinke lead all over it non stop every day?
- vel0city 3y agoI've written a letter to the FAA in support of getting rid of leaded gas. I've written my Congress critters about the issue several times. I'd love to see it end. I don't personally do any GA, I've never flown in any of those planes, I've never bought avgas. I'm not in support of the use of leaded gas in the slightest. What have you personally done to remedy the situation? All I'm trying to do is share knowledge. I imagine many people on this forum would have thought a Cessna would have used more gas than a speed boat. Chill out.
